Today, I'm going to write about a notice related with anthropology.
The human seems no to be the only one in knows about the thoughts of the other minds. An international study about the social behavior of chimpanzees reveals that the chimps are able to send an alarm of danger only when they know that the others members of the tribe are not conscious about dangerous thing. A video of wild chimps foraging in Uganda's Budongo forest, shows that when the chimp recovered the composure after have seen the snake, he did the “hoos” to put in alert to the rest of the group, but when another chimps discovered and known the danger, the “hoos” were decreasing. The behavior suggest that the animals knows about their partners are thinking and take decisions about the information that he will to express. This attitude is like they are collecting the differences in the ignorance and the knowledge of everyone else. Another important reactions is that when a chimp see the snake, may jump like a reaction of fear but only do the alarm after going back for a second look. This represents dissociation between the immediate reaction and the verbal warning. Currently, the experts are doing an investigation about how 33 wild chimps reacted to model vipers placed on paths use by apes in the forest.
